Kate Upton In Bikini And High Heels Highlights The 'Zero Gravity' Effect

Kate Upton turned heads in her tight tan bikini, posing in heels and from a runway as Sports Illustrated Swim featured her in its "zero gravity" edition back in 2013. While the snap is over a decade old, it's still live on social media platform X, where users continue to discuss the 31-year-old and her SI Swim legacy. Kate, who made a 2024 return to join legendary SI Swim bombshells for the magazine's 60th anniversary, dazzled the camera while posing by an airplane, and fans got the "zero gravity" thing right away.

Scroll for the photo. Striking a fierce pose as she flaunted her bombshell body, Kate nailed her pin-up vibe while stripped to a skintight, flesh-colored bikini. Looking sunkissed, the blonde displayed her long legs and taut abs in low-rise, frill-accent bottoms, with a busty matching top doing wonders for her ample assets. Flashing her chest tastefully as thin straps held her bikini top up, Kate tilted her face up toward the sun, letting her light locks blow about as she showed off a golden tan.

Folding her arms around her chest and lifting one hand near her collarbone, Kate accentuated her fierce cleavage while rocking reflective shades. The mom of one, who had yet to welcomed daughter Genevieve, stood by an airplane with the G-Force One logo, plus "Zero the weightless experience" written across the side. Eyes, however, were likely on Kate Upton, who made her SI Swim debut in 2011.

While May brought cover girl headlines for Kate as she returned to SI Swim, July has brought fans the above photo. On the Fourth of July, Kate wowed using rope-suspended hoops to dangle herself above ocean waters, posing for a triple threat photo with models Candice Swanepoel and Daiane Sodre as she showcased her latest V magazine cover.

Rocking a plunging unitard with a leggy shorts finish, Kate kept trendy via her Alo Yoga one-piece, making fans sweat with her curves as she glamorously bent one leg. "Had so much fun in Miami shooting the cover of this month’s @vmagazine with some bombshells," Kate Upton captioned the sunkissed IG snap.

Kate fills her social media with new snaps and updates on her marriage to husband Justin Verlander and the couple's 2018-born daughter, but she also treats fans to those sensational bikini throwbacks. Marking Pride Month as she kicked off a color-filled gallery in a tiny red bikini in June 2022, Kate wrote: "What better reason to wear rainbow… Happy #PrideMonth! Swipe to see some of my favorite colorful looks over the years."
